Candied Brie with Apple Wedges

• one (4-inch) round brie cheese
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 large tart apple, such as Granny Smith, cut into about 12 wedges
• 5 pecan halves

Preheat the oven to 275°F.

Place the brie on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until softened and warm.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low; add the brown sugar and stir occasionally until melted.

Make acidulated water by mixing the lemon juice into a small bowl of water. Dip the apple wedges into the water.

Place the warm cheese in a small serving bowl or on a small plate. Drizzle with the warm sauce. Garnish with the pecans in a pinwheel formation. Surround the cheese with the apple wedges.
